I joined Stage2 eight years ago when the company was based at Mac. I had previously been doing some of the kid’s drama workshops and so the company was recommended to my mom as “the next step up.” Being that I was only nine, when I arrived at the first session I of course was very overwhelmed and I knew nobody. But Stage2 has always had a “mentoring community”. The incredible thing about the company was that it was made of people who genuinely enjoy meeting and supporting new members and so in no time I made friends. Since then the company has evolved a lot and growing up as a member of it has blessed me with many unforgettable memories – Baltis, karaoke in Butlins, performing at LAMDA evenings, being invited to explore Laurie Lee’s house, workshops at the Shakespeare institute in Stratford, outings to plays, distribution days etc. ...but most importantly working with others to put on great performances. Since joining I have played many roles in Stage2’s productions and its always a strange thing to hear someone on the bus say “you were Giles Corey in that Crucible play,” but being in the company has taught me to be proactive, persistent and in a way tenacious. Stage2 has an ethos (well it has many) that has very much inspired me in whatever I do, that ok isn’t good enough – whether it’s selling tickets, sorting costume, marketing shows, learning lines or just being friendly and supportive person to the rest of the company, there’s no point in not doing it to the best of my ability. If I’m in a play and I feel my performance hasn’t been at the top of its game that week I strive to make it better for the next week. Looking back I know that there is so much pride to be felt in the way in which Stage2 has allowed me to develop my skill and build confidence through achievement, to a point at which I know I will be able to give the best performance I can in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. |
